Where I am from, Christmas trees are decorated with candles or electric lights that look like candles. Nothing like this.

A FINE WAY TO CELEBRATE RUBBER DOMES!
I think those are Logitech keyboards with mechanical Romer-G switches.
The key shape is weird though and the keyboards are ugly up close -- and they probably did not sell because of that.

All finnish words are pronounced exactly as they are written. Kom-po-nen-tit.

Yeah, Finns always claim that they all Finnish words are pronounced like they are written ... and then you find Finnish words with syllables like "ääkk" -- with double vowels followed by double consonants: WTH!?

And for you others, I can also tell that the "ä" letter is not pronounced like "ah" but like "ehhhh".

Ä is pronounced as æ or ae. Simultaneously saying both vovels. Can you provide an example of a word that is not pronounced as it is written? For your ”ääkk” notion, words like teekkari are pronounced teek-ka-ri, exactly as written.

These come to mind:
"onpa" is generally pronounced "ompa". Words like "kuningas" or "kangastus" take the 'n' sound to the back of the mouth (upper throat or whatever it's called) instead of the normal front of the mouth sound that it has in words like "kannas", so they are not exactly like written imo.
It's a fun language tho! ;)

I used to go to a cyber cafe called 'Blue Aether", so that is where I learned how to pronounce æ, but simply changing it to a long E is about as close as you are going to get in equivalent english :)

One of my friends is Finnish, you can't fool me :p. That language is just ridiculously complex, and it seems 95% of the letters are either an A or a K xD .
